sensors BLT sensors usually detect the target or the desired target features themselves. If that is not possible, the object can be marked with fluorescent substances. These markings are invisible to the human eye, but are detected by luminescence sensors with their UV light. sensors detect any kind of fluorescent substance, even if markings are applied lightly. Applications Logistics (marking, selecting) Assembly (guiding, monitoring, sorting) Packaging machines (to monitor cutting, folding) Ceramics industry (e.g. positioning parts) Wood industry (e.g. checking the glue bead) Pharmaceuticals (control tasks in the manufacturing process) Textiles (e.g. guiding cuts) Food industry 306

sensors BLT 18KF The luminescence sensor BLT 18KF detects any type of luminescent markings on any surface and automatically adjusts to ambient conditions. The sensor is calibrated with the simple push of a button. (Markings with a luminescence greater than the background are detected.) A precise setting is available for slightly luminescent markings. The switching type can be freely selected in this case. Function diagram Relative sensitivity Connector orientation Sensing distance Wiring diagrams BLT 18KF...P...
